This study attempts to investigate the role of Corporate Governance in mitigating agency cost. For
this purpose a sample of 100 firms selected on the basis of 100 INDEX of Karachi Stock Exchange during the
period 2007 to 2011. To do so, alternative proxies for agency costs are employing: the ratio of total sales to total
assets (asset turnover) and the ratio of selling, general & administrative expenses (SG&A) to total sales.
Multivariate fixed effect regression is used to analyze the data. The explanatory variables include director
ownership, institutional ownership, ownership Concentration, board size, CEO/Chair duality, Non Executive
Directors, Debt Ratio, remuneration structure and board independence. The analysis is controlled for the
influence of company size. The results show that higher director and institutional ownership reduces the level of
agency cost. Smaller sized boards also results in lowering agency cost. Board independence has positive
association with asset utilization ratio. The separation of the post of CEO and chairperson and higher
remuneration lower agency cost. Bank debt constitutes one of the most important Corporate Governance devices
for Pakistani Listed Companies. Also, managerial ownership, managerial compensation and ownership
concentration seem to play an important role in mitigating agency costs
Relationship between Corporate Social Responsibility and Earnings Management ...ijtsrd
The relationship between corporate social responsibility CSR and earnings management EM is an extensive empirical study. However, the evidence on the nature of the relationship is unclear. A commonly defined reason for divergent and contradictory results is measurement issues. The purpose of this article is to evaluate alternative operation and measurement methods applied to the CSR and EM concepts in the empirical literature on CSR EM relationships. Our systematized appraisal was conducted over the last nine years from 2008 to 2016. This study has come to different observations. First, CSR measurement methods include sustainability indexes, content analyzes and single dimensional measurements, while EM measurement methods include discretionary accruals, discretionary loan loss provisions, real earnings management, abnormal earnings management, earnings persistence and earnings smoothing. In addition to the unique drawbacks of the approach, the subjectivity of the researcher and the selection anomalies that may influence the nature of the CSR EM relationships identified in the empirical literature. Finally, possible ways of overcoming these disadvantages are recommended.

The Impact of Digital Media on the Decentralization of Power and the Erosion ...ijtsrd
The impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has gained considerable attention in recent years. The adoption of digital technologies and the internet has resulted in declining influence and power for traditional gatekeepers such as publishing houses and news organizations. Simultaneously, digital media has facilitated the emergence of new voices and players in the media industry. Digital medias impact on power decentralization and gatekeeper erosion is visible in several ways. One significant aspect is the democratization of information, which enables anyone with an internet connection to publish and share content globally, leading to citizen journalism and bypassing traditional gatekeepers. Another aspect is the disruption of conventional media industry business models, as traditional organizations struggle to adjust to the decrease in advertising revenue and the rise of digital platforms. Alternative business models, such as subscription models and crowdfunding, have become more prevalent, leading to the emergence of new players. Overall, the impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has brought about significant changes in the media landscape and the way information is shared. Further research is required to fully comprehend the implications of these changes and their impact on society.

The Role of Mentoring and Its Influence on the Effectiveness of the Teaching ...ijtsrd
This paper reports on a study which was conducted to investigate the role of mentoring and its influence on the effectiveness of the teaching of Physics in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. The study adopted the convergent parallel mixed methods design, focusing on respondents in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected, analysed separately, and the results were compared to see if the findings confirm or disconfirm each other. The quantitative analysis found that majority of the respondents 72 of Physics teachers affirmed that they had more experienced colleagues as mentors to help build their confidence, improve their teaching, and help them improve their effectiveness and efficiency in guiding learners’ achievements. Only 28 of the respondents disagreed with these statements. With majority respondents 72 agreeing with the statements, it implies that in most secondary schools, experienced Physics teachers act as mentors to build teachers’ confidence in teaching and improving students’ learning. The interview qualitative data analysis summarized how secondary school Principals use meetings with mentors and mentees to promote mentorship in the school milieu. This has helped strengthen teachers’ classroom practices in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. With the results confirming each other, the study recommends that mentoring should focus on helping teachers employ social interactions and instructional practices feedback and clarity in teaching that have direct measurable impact on students’ learning achievements.

This study primarily focuses on the design of a high side buck converter using an Arduino microcontroller. The converter is specifically intended for use in DC DC applications, particularly in standalone solar PV systems where the PV output voltage exceeds the load or battery voltage. To evaluate the performance of the converter, simulation experiments are conducted using Proteus Software. These simulations provide insights into the input and output voltages, currents, powers, and efficiency under different state of charge SoC conditions of a 12V,70Ah rechargeable lead acid battery. Additionally, the hardware design of the converter is implemented, and practical data is collected through operation, monitoring, and recording. By comparing the simulation results with the practical results, the efficiency and performance of the designed converter are assessed. The findings indicate that while the buck converter is suitable for practical use in standalone PV systems, its efficiency is compromised due to a lower output current.

Sustainable Energy by Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O. Sadikuijtsrd
Energy becomes sustainable if it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Some of the definitions of sustainable energy include the considerations of environmental aspects such as greenhouse gas emissions, social, and economic aspects such as energy poverty. Generally far more sustainable than fossil fuel are renewable energy sources such as wind, hydroelectric power, solar, and geothermal energy sources. Worthy of note is that some renewable energy projects, like the clearing of forests to produce biofuels, can cause severe environmental damage. The sustainability of nuclear power which is a low carbon source is highly debated because of concerns about radioactive waste, nuclear proliferation, and accidents. The switching from coal to natural gas has environmental benefits, including a lower climate impact, but could lead to delay in switching to more sustainable options. “Carbon capture and storage” can be built into power plants to remove the carbon dioxide CO2 emissions, but this technology is expensive and has rarely been implemented. Leading non renewable energy sources around the world is fossil fuels, coal, petroleum, and natural gas. Nuclear energy is usually considered another non renewable energy source, although nuclear energy itself is a renewable energy source, but the material used in nuclear power plants is not. The paper addresses the issue of sustainable energy, its attendant benefits to the future generation, and humanity in general. Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O.

Concepts for Sudan Survey Act Implementations Executive Regulations and Stand...ijtsrd
This paper aims to outline the executive regulations, survey standards, and specifications required for the implementation of the Sudan Survey Act, and for regulating and organizing all surveying work activities in Sudan. The act has been discussed for more than 5 years. The Land Survey Act was initiated by the Sudan Survey Authority and all official legislations were headed by the Sudan Ministry of Justice till it was issued in 2022. The paper presents conceptual guidelines to be used for the Survey Act implementation and to regulate the survey work practice, standardizing the field surveys, processing, quality control, procedures, and the processes related to survey work carried out by the stakeholders and relevant authorities in Sudan. The conceptual guidelines are meant to improve the quality and harmonization of geospatial data and to aid decision making processes as well as geospatial information systems. The established comprehensive executive regulations will govern and regulate the implementation of the Sudan Survey Geomatics Act in all surveying and mapping practices undertaken by the Sudan Survey Authority SSA and state local survey departments for public or private sector organizations. The targeted standards and specifications include the reference frame, projection, coordinate systems, and the guidelines and specifications that must be followed in the field of survey work, processes, and mapping products. In the last few decades, there has been a growing awareness of the importance of geomatics activities and measurements on the Earths surface in space and time, together with observing and mapping the changes. In such cases, data must be captured promptly, standardized, and obtained with more accuracy and specified in much detail. The paper will also highlight the current situation in Sudan, the degree to which survey standards are used, the problems encountered, and the errors that arise from not using the standards and survey specifications.

Towards the Implementation of the Sudan Interpolated Geoid Model Khartoum Sta...ijtsrd
The discussions between ellipsoid and geoid have invoked many researchers during the recent decades, especially during the GNSS technology era, which had witnessed a great deal of development but still geoid undulation requires more investigations. To figure out a solution for Sudans local geoid, this research has tried to intake the possibility of determining the geoid model by following two approaches, gravimetric and geometrical geoid model determination, by making use of GNSS leveling benchmarks at Khartoum state. The Benchmarks are well distributed in the study area, in which, the horizontal coordinates and the height above the ellipsoid have been observed by GNSS while orthometric heights were carried out using precise leveling. The Global Geopotential Model GGM represented in EGM2008 has been exploited to figure out the geoid undulation at the benchmarks in the study area. This is followed by a fitting process, that has been done to suit the geoid undulation data which has been computed using GNSS leveling data and geoid undulation inspired by the EGM2008. Two geoid surfaces were created after the fitting process to ensure that they are identical and both of them could be counted for getting the same geoid undulation with an acceptable accuracy. In this respect, statistical operation played an important role in ensuring the consistency and integrity of the model by applying cross validation techniques splitting the data into training and testing datasets for building the geoid model and testing its eligibility. The geometrical solution for geoid undulation computation has been utilized by applying straightforward equations that facilitate the calculation of the geoid undulation directly through applying statistical techniques for the GNSS leveling data of the study area to get the common equation parameters values that could be utilized to calculate geoid undulation of any position in the study area within the claimed accuracy. Both systems were checked and proved eligible to be used within the study area with acceptable accuracy which may contribute to solving the geoid undulation problem in the Khartoum area, and be further generalized to determine the geoid model over the entire country, and this could be considered in the future, for regional and continental geoid model.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

ABSTRACT
Corporate governance is concerned with ways in which all parties interested in the well- being of the organization attempt to
ensure that mangers and other insiders take measures or adopt mechanisms that safeguard the interests of the stakeholders..
The purpose of the study is to find out the impact of corporate governance on profitability of listed Land and Property
companies in Sri Lanka. Return of Assets is used as dependent variable. To measure the corporate governance, Board size,
Board composition and independent directors of Remuneration committee. number of auditors are considered in this study.
Firm size was considered as control variable in this study. The data were collected from firms’ annual financial reports and
Data Stream over the period of 2011to 2016, from the CSE website. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, multiple linear
regression analysis were used to analyse the data and examine the hypotheses by using the E-views 10 version, in this study.
The findings revealed that there is a positive and significant relationship between ROA with auditors, board composition.
Independent directors of Remuneration committee and boardsizeareinsignificantlycorrelated withROA.Furthermore,itwas
found that the control variable (firm size) was insignificant in influencing firm performance (ROA)..Thisstudyprovidesuseful
information for policy makers, regulators in improving the corporate governance policies in the future and also helps in
increasing and understanding the relationship between corporate governance and firm’s performance.
KEYWORDS: Corporate Governance, board size, Firm performance, Return on Assets, Listed Land and Property Companies
INTRODUCTION
“Corporate governance” first cameinto voguein the1970sin
the United States. Within 25 yearscorporategovernancehad
become the subject of debate worldwide by academics,
regulators, executives and investors (Cheffins, 2012).
Corporate governance is the means by which a company is
operated and controlled. The aim of corporate governance
initiatives is to ensure that companies are run well in the
interest of their shareholders and the wider community
(ACCA, 2016). Corporate governance generally refers to the
set of mechanisms that influence the decisions made by
managers when there is a separation of ownership and
control. The governance mechanisms of modern
corporations are of interest to investors, business
practitioners, regulators, and scholars. These mechanisms
can be broadly classified as internal and external. Internal
governance mechanisms in developed market economies
focus on the role and functions of ownership structure,
boards of directors, Chief Executive officer (CEO) duality,
individualand institutional shareholders, activist stock
ownership and directors and executive compensation.
External governance mechanisms concern the effectiveness
of the managerial labour market, the market for corporate
control, and government regulations. (Wu et al, 2002;Sahaet
al, 2018; David, 2005 ;).
The issue of corporate governance has become essential in
the present situation because of increasing fraudulent
activities, agency conflicts and insidertradingwhich weaken
the corporate performance (Enobakhare, 2010). Good
corporate governance practices are important in reducing
risk for investors; attracting investment capital and
improving the performance of companies
(Velnampy&Pratheepkanth, 2012).Brownand Caylor(2004)
found that better-governed firms are relatively more
profitable, more valuable, and pay out more cash to their
shareholders. Organized corporate governance helps to
economic stability by upgrading the performance of
organizations and expanding their right to gain entrance to
outside capital Shahzad et al (2015).Shleifer and Vishnvy
(1997) defined corporate governance as a way in which
suppliers of finance to corporations assure themselves of
getting a return on their investment. Irrespective of the
particular definition, the importance of corporate
governance arises in a firm because of the separation
between those who control and these who own the residual
claims (Epps and Cereola, 2008).
Brown andCaylor(2004) point out that, regulators and
governance advocates argue on the stock price collapse of
such former corporate stalwarts as Adelphia, Enron,
Parmalat, Tyco, and WorldCom was due in large parttopoor
governance. If their contentionsare valid,amarketpremium
should exist for relatively well-governed firms.
The study attempts to ascertain and establish whether there
are significant impacts of corporate governance on firm
performanceof Listed Land and Property companies in Sri
Lanka.
PROBLEM STATEMENT
The impact of corporate governance on firm performance
has been a subject of great empirical investigations in
finance. Most empirical research has focused on the impact
of corporate governance on performance. Furthermore,
finance decisions are associated with the agency costs and
corporate governance mechanisms. In thepresentstudy, the
corporate governance and corporate profitabilityof theland
and property companies in Colombo stock exchange (CSE)
has been investigated. Several research were undertaken to
ascertain how corporate governance has an impact on

dividend decision, Capital structure and performance.
Several researches have expressed their findings as to how
corporate governance had an impact on corporate
performance, corporate profitability and firm’s value.
However such research are rarely carried out in Sri Lanka.
No such study has been conducted to investigate between
corporate governance and corporate profitability.Therefore
the research problem could be stated as follows. “To what
extent the corporate governance have significant impact on
firm performance”.
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this study is to find out the impact of
corporate governance on performance of Listed Land and
Property Companies in Colombo Stock Exchange.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
This study is important for the investors to obtain
knowledge about mechanism of the corporate governance
adopted by their portfolio companies. Furthermore, it
provides the opportunities for academicsandresearchersto
study the evidence of whether or not the corporate
governance affects the performance of Listed Land and
Property Companies in Sri Lanka.
DATA COLLECTION AND SAMPLING
There are 19 companies that are listedonLand andProperty
sector on Colombo Stock Exchange.This wasincorporatedas
the Population for this study. Among them 17 firms were
used as the sample. The research is based on secondarydata
which gathered from firms’ annualfinancial reportsand data
stream over the period 2011to 2016, from the Colombo
Stock Exchange(CSE) website .Theanalysisisbasedonpanel
data, by using software package of E-views.
LITERATURE REVIEW
EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
AND PROFITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
The concept of corporate governance has been viewed by
number of authors and scholars. For instance,David et al
(2012) investigated the influence of corporate governance
on financial firms' performance during the 2007-2008
financial crisis. In his study, theywereusingauniquedataset
of 296 financial firms from 30 countries that were at the
center of the crisis, they found that firms with more
independent boards and higher institutional ownership
experienced worse stock returns during the crisis period by
using regression model.
Sahaet al (2018) carried out study to explore the
relationship between corporate governance and firm
performance with considering the role of board and audit
committee using secondary data for the period of 5 years
ranging from 2013 to 2017. 81 listed companies in Dhaka
Stock Exchange(DSE)were used as sample and the multiple
liner regression analysis was used as underlying statistical
test. The results of the study signifythatboard independence
ratio and audit committee is statistically significant and has
positive impact on Return on Asset (ROA) and Tobin’s Q
(TQ). But it is not statisticallysignificant in the case of firm
performance indicator Return on Equity (ROE) in thisstudy.
In addition to this, board size is not statistically significant
and has negative correlation with firm performance due
togroup dynamics, communication gaps and indecisiveness
of larger groups.
According to Velnampy and Pratheepkanth (2013), there is
an impact of corporate governance on ROE and ROA. For
their study, they used board structure and corporate report
to measure the corporate governance whereas returns on
assets, return on equity and net profit were used to measure
the firm’s performance.The data of ten manufacturing
companies in Sri Lanka representing the period of 2006 to
2010 were used for the study. The multiple regression
analysis was applied to test the impact of corporate
governance on firm performance. Further their study found
a positive relationship between the variables of corporate
governance and firm’s performance.
In one study, Tomar&Bino(2012)expressed the relation
between corporate governance and bank performance by
using a sample of 14 banks listed on Amman Stock Exchange
market over the period 1997 to 2006, and their findings
revealed that ownership structure and board composition
have a strong impact on the bank performance and board
size has no effect on bank's performance.
Wu et al (2002) disclose that ownership concentration and
percentage of employees’ shareholding have positive
impacts on firm performance but the percentage of major
officers’ shareholding does not. The ratioof insiderdirectors
is not related to firm performance either. CEO duality has an
impact on chairmen’s salaries. However, managerial
compensation is, in general, not related tofirm performance.
Ibrahim et al (2010) stress that the impact of corporate
governance on firm performance. The ROA and ROE are
selected as firm’s performance variables for this study. The
data of corporate governance and the profitability variables
were collected from two manufacturing sectors (Chemical
and Pharmaceutical) of Pakistan from 2005 to 2009. The
findings of this context is that there is a significant impact of
corporate governance on ROE while insignificant on ROA. In
sector wise analysis, there is an insignificant impact on
pharmaceutical sector’s profitability and chemical sector
ROA. Whereas there is a significant impact of corporate
governance on chemical sector ROE.
Shahzad et al (2015), identify the relation among three
corporate governance instruments (Board Size, Board
Composition and CEO-Status) and one firm performance is
measured using ROA Karachi Stock Exchange listed cement
firms is observed for the period 2007–2013. Findings of the
study was that there is a positive and significantrelationship
between ROA with board size and negative significant
relationship between ROA with CEO-Status. Furthermore
insignificant relationship between ROA with board
composition by applying the ADFtest multiple regression
and T-test exploration.
Bhagat&Bolton(2008) make threeadditional contribution to
the literature, first one is that, stock ownership of board
members, and CEO-Chair separation is significantly
positively correlated with better contemporaneous and
subsequent operating performance. Second, none of the
governance measures are correlated with future stock
market performance. Third, given poor firm performance,
the probability of disciplinary management turnover is
positively correlated with stock ownership of board
members, and board independence.
Velnampy and Nimalathasan (2013) undertook a study to
find out the relationship between corporate governance

practices, capital structure and firm performance in listed
manufacturing firms in Sri Lanka with a sample of 25
manufacturing companies using the data representing the
periods of 2008 –2012. Leadership structure, board
committee, board meeting, board size, board composition,
were used as the determinants of corporate governance
practices whereas debt equity ratio (DER) was used as the
measure of capital structure and return on equity(ROE)and
return on assets (ROA) were used as the measures of firm
performance.
Johl et al (2015) undertook a study is to examine the impact
of board characteristics and firm performance. They tested
the effects of board meeting, board independence,board size
and directors accounting expertise on firm accounting
performance. This research used datafrom annualreportsof
the 700 public listed firms in Malaysia for the year 2009.
Based on their findings the result shows that board
independencedoesnotaffectfirmperformance, whilstboard
size and board accounting/financial expertise are positively
associated with firm performance. Board diligence in terms
of board meetings is found to have an adverse effect on firm
performance.
Zabri et al (2016) focus on corporate governance practices
among Top 100 public listed companies in Bursa Malaysia
and the relationship between corporate governance
practices with firm performance, showed thatboard size has
significantly weak negative relationship with ROA butitwas
found to be insignificant to ROE. The other finding indicated
that there was no relationship betweenboard independence
and firm performance.
Faizul and Thankom (2016)investigatetheinfluenceof firm-
level corporate governance on financial performance of the
listed firms in Bangladesh. Agency theory suggests that
better corporate governance reduces expropriation costs,
which, in turn, enhances investors’ confidence in the firm’s
future cash flow and growth prospects, leading to higher
firm valuation. Likewise, a decrease in private benefits is
likely to cause an improved operating performance. This
research uses a questionnaire survey-based corporate
governance index (CGI), comprising of the three dimensions
– shareholder rights, independence and responsibilities of
the board and management, and financial reporting and
disclosures. The study results partly confirm the prediction
of the agency theory, with a statistically significant positive
relationship between a firm’s corporate governance quality
and its valuation, even though the relationshipbetween firm
level corporate governance and operating performance
seems inconclusive.
Simon & Enoghayinagbon (2014) examine the relationship
between corporate governance and financialperformance of
randomly selected quoted firms in Nigeria. It investigates
corporate governance variables and analyses whether they
have an impact on firm performance as measured by return
on asset (ROA) and profit margin (PM). Four corporate
governance variables were selected namely: composition of
board member, board size, CEO status and ownership
concentration which served as the independent variables.
The ordinary least square regression was used to estimate
the relationship between corporate governance and firm
performance. Findings of the study show that there is a
positive and significant relationshipbetweencomposition of
board member and board size as independent variables and
firm performance. CEO status also has positive relationship
with firm performance but insignificant at P<0.05.However,
ownership concentration has negative relationships with
return on asset (ROA) but positive relationship with profit
margin (PM). The relationships arenotsignificantat5%. The
study recommends among other things that companies’
board should be majorly dominated by independent
directors and board size shouldbeinlinewith corporatesize
and activities.
Puwanenthiren et al., (2016) analyze the correlation
between Board attributes and company performance in a
sample of 100 Australian and 100 Sri Lankan firms. The
analyzed board attributes includesize;genderratio;fraction
of non-independent members; and experience. The level of
economic development considered to have a potential
confounding effect on the outcomes. The analysis of thedata
suggest that: boards in Australia are much larger than
boards in Sri Lanka; Boards are male dominated in both
nations; and while board structure provides predictive
insight into firm performance, only a few individual
attributes are significant. Important finding of this research
is that the larger boards of Australia have significantly
stronger influence on firm performance than relatively
smaller boards of Sri Lanka. Future research should extend
the review of the effects of board size on corporate
performance.
Zhaoyang & Udaya (2012)examinetherelationshipbetween
corporate governance structures and firm performance of
listed firms on Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE) in Sri Lanka.
Data were collected from 174 firms in the financial year
2010 and multiple regression analysiswereusedtoexamine
whether the existing corporate governance mechanisms
influence the firm performance of listed firms in Sri Lanka.
The study found that, (i) board size and proportion of non-
executive directors in the board shows a marginal negative
relationship with firm value, (ii)proportion of non-executive
directors in a board and financial performanceoffirmshows
negative relation contrarytothefindingsofpreviousstudies.
The firm size and director shareholdings have a significant
impact on firm performance of listed firms in Sri Lanka.
Mwangi (2012) investigated the effects of corporate
governance on the financial performanceof listed companies
at (NSE). Specifically, this study examined board size, board
composition, CEO duality and leverage and how they affect
the financial performance of listed Companies at National
Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE). Firm performance
was measured using Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on
Equity (ROE). Data was analyzed using a multiple linear
regression model. The study found thatastrongrelationship
exist between the corporate governance practices under
study and the firms’ financial performance. There was a
positive relationship between board composition and firm
financial performance. However, the most critical aspect of
board composition was the experience, skills and expertise
of the board members as opposed to whether they were
executive or non-executive directors. Similarly,leverage was
found to positively affect financial performanceof insurance
firms listed at the NSE. On CEO duality, the study found that
separation of the role of CEO and chair positively influenced
the financial performance of listed firms

a positive and statistically significant correlation with firms’ performancemeasuredby both ROA.Thisresultisconsistentwith
the hypothesis. Turning to control variables, firm size (FSIZ) has an insignificant positive correlation with measures of
performance. Furthermore, table 4 suggests that the observed correlation coefficients between independent variables are
relatively low, multicollinearity is not a serious issue in this study.
